Before the development of eli whitney's cotton gin, american farmers: a. used the inefficient lowell system to produce cotton goods for export. b. shipped their cotton to china, japan, and the ottoman empire for processing. c. hired british workers to separate the cotton seeds from the fiber. d. could grow large quantities of cotton but could not process it very quickly.

D. could grow large quantities of cotton but could not process it very quickly.

Large tracts of land were used as "farmlands" which led to the production of cotton farms, but processing with hands was a long, hard, and tedious task. The cotton gin allowed mass production of cotton that was usable by factories, which helped with production.

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
